1985 Westfalia For Sale, Superb Condition, $12k
I’ve been thinking about trying to find a way to purchase this 1985 Westfalia that is for sale near me, but I just can’t seem to come up with the money. I’d have to sell mine first, and I’m in the process of doing some body work on it that would make it a much better resell. So, if I can’t buy it, I guess someone else should because it appears to be quite a find. It has ~120k original miles, newer rebuilt motor and transmission, newer pop top canvas and sunroof. According to a title check I did, it is being sold by the 2nd owner. Most of the mechanical work was done a few years back at J’s VW in Reno. I took this van for test drive a few weeks ago and it’s solid, no squeaks, shifts tight, feels powerful. If you’re interested, hit the seller up on craigslist, at $12,000 this is priced pretty fair considering the condition. I think if this Westfalia was for sale in the Bay Area (5 hours south), it would have sold in a few days.
I ended up buying this for much lower than the asking price, not sure how I made away with such a steal. She’s been a dream with minimal issues, starts every time.
